The Yankees have faced the Athletics five times this year. They have only won one game out of those five. That is not ideal.
Yankees are now 11-13 vs teams with a current losing record. No, that is not good.

The above tweet is a classic case of the "half full or half empty" debate. Sure, the Yankees are losing to bad teams. They're still beating good teams though. Even with the second wildcard, odds are you will face good teams in the playoffs rather than bad teams.
